Tobacco applications

Cigarette manufacture requires the use of papers for filter tipping and for the body of the cigarette, while the manufacture of its packaging requires the use of metallized papers for lining packs, films for soft pack production and for outer wrapping, and carton board for hard packs and the outers themselves.

These materials, and the products made from them, can be highly specified. For example, the Lower Ignition Propensity (LIP) papers required for some cigarette bodies have particular burn characteristics, while carton board hard packs must erect perfectly on filling lines.

Over the years, BOBST equipment has been adapted to the particular needs of plants that manufacture cigarettes or cigarette packaging, delivering in-line and off-line approaches to gravure and flexo printing, vacuum metalizing, coating & laminating, hot foil stamping, embossing, die-cutting, and folding & gluing.
